You DON’T setFrame: anymore
You DON’T setFrame: anymore You DECLARE a layout

ax + by = c Linear equations
ax + by = c 2x + 2y = 4
Linear equations
ax + by = c 2x + 2y = 4
=> [x = 1, y = 1] Linear equations
ax + by = c 2x + 2y = 4
=> [x = 1, y = 1] 2(x+5)-7 = 3(x-2) Linear equations
ax + by = c 2x + 2y = 4
=> [x = 1, y = 1] 2(x+5)-7 = 3(x-2) => [x = 9] Linear equations
0x + 1 = 2

Linear programming
Linear programming Solves equations with variables Looks for an objective
function
Auto Layout is a big objective function

Likes one solution scenarios Multiple solutions => ambiguous layout No

DON’T think in terms of frames
